You know - I think the only way to get a perfect score is to do something so ridiculously easy, something you know so well you could do it in your sleep. And, in that case, it's not really worth doing - you wouldn't be learning anything new or challenging yourself.
To use Steve's game example (from the Leveling Up) article - it's like replaying level 1, over and over and over, just because you like getting a perfect score on, instead of going forward to level 2, or 10, where you know you won't get all the points, because it's harder.
I'm trying to kick the whole perfectionism thing myself because my experience has been it does NOTHING for me, except get in my way of actually trying new things. I'm finding that ditching the entire idea of perfectionism is a much better way for me to live (better = more fun, more adventures, more learning!)
Just some thoughts!!!
